Legal issues for entrepreneurs

A 40-hour online training course aimed at providing information to the entrepreneur about the legislation that must be taken into account during the business idea creation process: from choosing the legal formula for implementing it to knowing which aspects of intellectual and industrial property protection affect their products, the legislation they must comply with if their business is promoted on the internet and which requirements must be taken into account to protect their users' or customers' personal data.
